Description Murray, a writer, having quit his job scripting an inane kids' TV program, doesn't want a "real" job either. So he doesn't get one. Sadly, the bureaucrats at the State Welfare Board catch on, and they decide to take away Murray's young nephew, Nick, who has lived with Murray for seven years. To prevent this, Murray must make sacrifices.
